Crystal Lite Warning

[connie]

Hey everyone its Connie, just wanted to share an incident I encountered over the weekend. I had been having trouble getting in enough water so I began "pumping up my water" with great tasting crystal lite............I decided to try a new flavor this weekend.........WILD STRAWBERRY !!! What a mistake.........I added it to my water bottle as usual about 2 hours before I went to bed. All of a sudden about 15 minuites after drinking it I felt so "gittery",shakes and headache.........I was scared.......this just isnt usually how I feel.
Then I decided to read the box of the crystal lite........seems like it was the energy ................I found out that one packet equals 60 grs. of CAFFINE !!!! OMG I dont drink coffee, and only decaf tea.........so this was a strange feeling for me and a feeling I would never want to feel again.
All the other flavors are great and help me to drink my water.........

Thanks for the heads up. I would never think of this. I don't use Crystal Lite but it's a good idea to pump up the water with it, IF they is no caffeine. Live and learn. I need to drink more water also. I do drink coffee with caffeine and probably drink too much of it but I don't find it increases my appetite at all, but I try to keep aware of how much I'm drinking. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Connie. There are new flavors out there that have caffiene in them, but there are also some that don't have caffiene, but probiotic fiber. I highly reccomend the Peach rasberry one. It has fiber and you'll never know it.99.9% of Crystal Light flavors do not have any caffiene, but there is I think 2 new flavors that do. I'm a Crystal Light addict!!! Thank you for pointing it out to thos who don't know. Sorry I didn't say something sooner.
